Congrats, Niel!

- You're so good, dude! Yes!

- That was far! - You're right.

- See? I made it far! - Hey! You should treat us later.

Whoah! Number one!

Cousin, why don't you tell Tito Berting that you were not accepted in the scholarship?

You look shattered. You didn't even know if you can enroll.

It's still the same.

If I told him, I would still think about it.

I'll just tell him after I solved this problem.

I know.

I really know it!

Here. Just look at your happy pill so you won't be sad.

She's going to smile.

There! She's smiling.

See? I know that he's your biggest crush.

Suction.

One more time.

Here.

- Doc, attorney came here earlier. - Okay.

Dan's passports and his other documents.

Should I call Attorney?

There's a problem and he needs to talk to you.

No. I'll take care of it.

- Okay. - Thanks.

That was awesome! Shall we meet later?

Yes, of course. Let's meet later.

What? I'm not invited again?

- It's for the boys only. - Whatever!

We'll see each other later okay? Let's have fun and not think about problems.

- We'll take care of it. - I just want to enjoy myself.

- Sure! I'll take care of it. - Sounds like a plan?

Sounds like a plan!

- Dude, later okay? - Later.

See you bro!

Did you win again?

- You're the champion again? - Of course!

Have you eaten?

Congratulations!

Ma! I won!

I see!

Oh, why are you early today?

You don't have duty?

It's because we need to talk.

Your requirements.

Your passport, visa...

Awesome!

Yes!

Wow! I'm all set, Ma. Thanks!

- Not exactly. - Yes!

He didn't sign yet?

Not even the annulment papers.

He said that he wants you to spend the summer with him before he signs.

What?

It's one of his conditions with Attorney.

You have to spend the summer with him.

Bro, you're going to stay in the province? That would be so boring!

Did I say I will go?

Well, what's it gonna be Mr. Daniel Cuaresma Jr?

Are you in... or are you out?

I'm out! Definitely!

What about your consent?

I don't know.

Just go. Then, do things that would piss him off.

If he kicks you out, it's not your fault anymore.

At least, you did your end of the bargain.

Where are you?

Okay, hurry up.

Good morning, Doc.

Ma'am, they're coming. They'll just stop by a coffee shop.

- Is my son the one who's driving? - No. It's Miguel.

Good!

Ramon... go and have your breakfast. I don't know when my son will be back.

Doc, is he going with me?

We'll see.

Good morning, Niel.

Did you sleep well?

Sleep more. It's still early.

What time is it anyway?

What is it?

- What happened? - Goodness! I have to get there by 6:30 a.m.

Beto... you really.

- See you, dude! - Okay.

- Thanks, bro. - Let's go out again later okay?

Niel!

I'm going.

- Take care okay? - Alright.

- Okay bye. - Bye, cousin. Take care!

- Bring us something good okay? - Okay, okay.

- Bye! - Bye!

Take care!

You really.. You know that you have to go somewhere but you're still out all night.

Mang Ramon has been waiting!

Why? Did I say that I will go?

I didn't, right?

Hi, Ma!

This is for emergency purposes.

Why are you so sure that I'll go there?

I'm proud of you, son.

Ever since you were small, you know what you want and how to get it.

Seldom have I seen young man such as yourself who has a clarity of vision.

But I don't have to go to that stupid farm!

This car is really awesome! Big time!

I fetched him.

You've been away for so long huh?

Who are you again?

It's Beto, your childhood friend.

We always play at the farm when we're still young.

I'm glad that you've been back.

I had no choice.

Are you alright?

Maybe you're not used to travelling far, are you?

Wait, wait. I have a medicine here. I know it's here.

I also feel that way when I travel far.

- Mang Ramon... - Sir?

- Can you park the car? - Are you alright?

I think I'm gonna barf.

You want the car to be parked because you're going to burp?

Niel, are you okay?

Niel!

Sir?

I'm sorry, Niel.

Niel, I'm really really sorry.

Who do you think you are?

Do you think you can do that to me?

- Niel, sorry. - Sir?

Sir, are you alright?

Give it to me.

Mang Ramon, i'll just get the shirt.

Berting! Here's your daughter.

Ramon, thank Sir Dan for me okay?

Niel, thanks for the ride. I'll just return the shirt after it's been washed.

Oh! Sir Niel, I didn't see you there!

Berting, we'll go ahead.

Okay, thanks again.

- Here's my scholar daughter! - Oh my goodness!

- Grandma! - Congratulations, hija!

Tay, what's this?

Your dad announced to everyone that you've been accepted to be a scholar.

That's why they cooked something for us to celebrate.

Look at this. Adobo. Your godmother sent this.

I cooked Menudo for you, Beto.

You shouldn't have done that... It's embarrassing!

- It's nothing! - By the way, I cooked this for you...

She almost didn't teach me how to cook it.

She said... I'll just have to cook for her future daughter in law.

- What future daughter in law? - I think Beto can be courted now. She's grown up.

What are you talking about? I don't permit it yet. We already talked about it.

For now, I'll have to guard her against men who wants to court her.

Why? Are there guys who wanted to court you already?

No one.

Come, let's eat.

- Let's eat! - It's alright. You eat first.

- We have lots of food. - Let's eat.

Our daughter really got her intelligence from you.

I'm really glad that like you, she is now a scholar.

Sir, your dad is waiting for you.

I'll just get your things.

Have you changed the bedsheets yet?

Did you tell Mang Tino to transfer the chicken?

Where's your Sir?

Why didn't you wake him up yet? His son will be coming soon. Do I have to wake him up, too?

Niel...

Wait a minute.

Señor...

Señor, your son is here!

- My son is here? - Yes.

- Really? - Your son is here!

Niel!

Niel!

Niel...

I'm sorry, I drank a bit but i'm not drunk.

I was excited for your return so I chatted with our workers.

It lasted until morning. It was good!

It's been so long, son.

You've grown up a lot!

The last time I saw you... you weren't circumcised yet.

Wait. You're circumcised now, aren't you?

Of course you are. Your mom is a doctor, isn't she?

Did she do it?

Señor, why don't you take a shower first?

Okay. I'll go and have a shower then we'll eat.

I had your favorite foods cooked.

Can I eat later? I'm not hungry yet.

Oh.. But she woke up early to cook those.

We went to the market early to buy the ingredients.

No. It's alright.

If he gets hungry, we'll just have to heat it, right?

That can be done, isn't it?

If you don't want to eat, we can take a look around.

Where do you want to go? What do you miss here?

- What do you want? - Can we do it next time?

I'm tired.

I just want to go to my room.

Where is it?

Same as before.

Okay.

Okay, Manang. Please bring me a glass of water in my room.

Okay, i'll just bring it there.

I'm leaving. I can't take it anymore!

Please... Please don't leave us!

Niel?

Niel,

Here's your water.

Okay, Manang. Can you put it down there?

Ah, okay.

- Niel... - Please don't disturb me.

I really want to rest.

Please close the door when you leave.

Okay.

You didn't fix your clothes again.

- Come, look at this. - Why?

It's not that messy.

I'm busy, you know.

Look at your underwear, it's just here.

No one can see that. We're the only ones who use the comfort room.

Nevertheless. You still have to fix it.

Can we make love here?

What are you doing?

Quit pretending.

Go ahead, i'll fix this.

Niel...

Niel!

Niel, wake up. Let's eat breakfast.

- Niel... - I'm still sleeping.

That's why i'm waking you up... because you're sleeping.

Get up.

- I just fell asleep... - Niel!

I won't stop until you get up.

Get up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! There, you're waking up.

There! You're awake.

Follow me in the dining table okay?

What time is it anyway?

It's still early...

Niel,

about me and your dad...

we live together.

I know that you're thinking that i'm a mistress but...

I don't care about that, okay? I'm out of that.

Alright. Come, let's eat.

Okay, i'll just go ahead. Just go after me.

There! It's black.

- Thank you. - Niel, do you want one?

No. I'll do it myself, Manang.

You can call me Tita.

Did you like the pastillas I made? Do you want more?

You've victimized a lot because of your pastillas huh?

Why aren't you sitting down?

Come on! Sit down!

Niel, while you are here, come with me to the farm.

At least, you'll get to know about our business.

Thank you. I think there's no need for that.

I will not pursue that course in college.

It's not even related to your farm.

Ah, right. You're going to become a doctor.

Wait a minute,

why have you thought of studying abroad?

Was it your mom's idea?

No. It is my own decision.

Obviously, I want to be like her.

Hey! How are you?

- Berting, do you still remember my son? - Sir Dan...

- Hey, how are you? - Sir Dan, how have you been?

Don't you miss the people here? We're all family here, Niel.

I don't have a family here.

Me... the people here...

we are your family.

You know, at 4 a.m. in the morning, we already start milking the carabaos.

We have to be quick. At 6 a.m. in the morning, we have to deliver the milk.

Alright, just take pictures for now. Just look for me at my office after you're done.

- Good morning. It's all set. - How are you?

- Bestfriend! - Bestfriend!

Goodness! The child will be squeezed.

Sorry. Sorry, baby.

- This is baby's... - We'll go ahead.

- Okay, okay. We'll have the baby.

Bye-bye, baby!

- Bye, baby! - Bye!

I'm sorry, I didn't come yesterday.

My in-law was very mad...

How was your party?

You're the only non-scholar who has a party huh?

Stop that. Somebody might hear.

I haven't told my dad yet.

You haven't told him yet? You have to tell him, Beto.

I have to resolve this first.

I'll think of someone whom I can ask help for.

Would you like me to come with you?

No, it's alright. You have to attend to your baby.

Just don't forget to leave me a message. Good luck!

- Thank you. - Good luck!

Give me a hug!

Sir Dan? Make sure to give them fresh grass not the dried ones Sir Dan!

- Oh, Beto. - Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon, too. - I just want to ask something...

What is it?

I would like to get a loan for my tuition for the first semester.

I didn't get the scholarship, that's why.

But your dad said you got the scholarsh...

I haven't told him the truth yet so... I would like to get a loan.

I'll work for it. Anything that you ask, I will do it.

Just allow me to get a loan.

Okay. Fine, Beto.

I got some work for you.

♫ Let the sun shine, let the rivers run away ♫

♫ Coz it's a beautiful day now to play now ♫

♫ As I close my eyes and pray ♫

♫ Lord have mercy on me coz i'm feeling kinda lonely ♫

♫ Would you be, could you be my one and only ♫

♫ Took a train at a station, I almost lost my patience coz I was waiting ♫

Are you following me?

No. We just have the same path.

♫ Just to see your face ♫

♫ Is this the one that i'm supposed to be afraid of? ♫

- Go ahead first. - Huh?

Go first!

Looks like he's going ahead of you...

What are you doing?

Stay away from me!

Are you okay? YES!

Why do you have to hug each other and roll around in there?

It's like an old love story.

Dad that rolling around and hugging was purely accidental

Beto, tell me the truth...

Is there anything I need to watch out over you and Niel?

Nothing, 'Tay.

Dad, I just did what sir Dan asked me to do. That's it.

See? That's all it was.. Just following orders

No malice... it's just work.

You really!

You woke up late... will you follow to the farm later?

For what? So Beto will keep following me around?

No way!

There she is.

Hey! Good morning. Where are we going today?

You don't say...

Sorry.

Why did you have to take the long way? There's a short cut over here

You smoke?

No.

But why?

What do you mean "why"?

Why do you smoke? Isn't it bad?

Aren't you going to med school? That can cause death.

Yes. It can cause death...

...especially if it's second-hand smoke.

Are you going to keep following me?

Why are you being nasty? Chill out! I'm just doing my job.

What job? They're all excuses.

Banana (1.00/piece) Sweet Potato (10.00/kilo)

Goods are cheap around here

Yes, of course!

Miss! Yes?

I want this, this, and that.

Okay sir. Yes sir.

Thank you miss~ Thank you!

You said you had nothing to do.. Right?

Carry all of it.

Hey! Are you serious? What are you going to do? Sell all these vegetables?!

Is he a gentleman or what (sarcastically)

Mom, let's go here!

- Hey, bestfriend! - Bestfriend!

- What's up? - How are you?

Well

Hold on just a minute

Have you received his sweet consent? (To be your sweetheart)

You're crazy!

Do you mean not yet? You sure work slow... that is so easy to do

We only need to find out five things to know if he is interested in you

Five things? Yes

First of all you need to be text mates Text mate?

Yes! He doesn't even want to get my number

And then second, you two need to always be together.

Well yeah we're always together. Its my job right now.

Dummy. I mean for you to be together outside of your job description

then third... when he starts to defend you with people who mistreat you. Am I right?

This one... really!

Fourth... wow What? Physical contact! There you go..holding hands! Hey!

And then fifth, same what happened to me.. Pregnant, then baby..

Hey Epang... you're really...

Its just a joke. Don't go to step five, just stop at four.

Step four only

Look at you! All excited...!

You think he heard me?

Niel, where are you going?

Over there. Lets go ride the tricycle.

Can you please leave me alone?

Wait! Wait! Don't be mad. I just want to show you around

You can get a ride over there (public transport)

You're so annoying!

You really like me that much that you can't leave me?

Do you really think that I will like you? Huh?

Niel, just wait

I think that's what you really want

What? Do you want me to?

You want me to?

Do you like this?

Niel, what are you doing?

Stop pretending.

I know that you like it. Am I right?

Berting... I'll do it. This is a woman's conversation

My child... what happened?

What did Neil do to you?

The only person who can do that to you is the same person that makes you smile all the time these past few days

Grams!

My child! My child!

My child

Sir Dan? Take good care of it... Yes?

Beto!

I came to ask a favor. If it's possible for me to milk the buffaloes instead?

Here's my calculations that I did last night

If I can get 6 liters per day, multiplied by 30 per liter... I can make 180 pesos per day

times 30 days that's 5400 in a month then that will be 10800 in two months

That's what I want to borrow sir Dan... in place of 360 containers

I promise to do all of that before the end of my vacation

Why Beto?

I thought we already had an agreement

Sorry sir Dan. It's just that I can't do what you asked me to do anymore

I would rather collect milk

What did you do to Beto?

So she already ratted me to you. Why do you still ask?

She didn't tell me anything so you need to tell me yourself

She didn't say anything. So what's your problem?!

Don't you push me!

Don't annoy me either!

If you want to know anything, why don't you bother her instead. From what I see you're more concerned with her than me!

Dan! Dan...

Is this how you are now? Huh?

You don't have any respect for me or other people! Stop it! Enough!

Quit it with the drama! Just sign the papers so I could leave. I don't want to be here anymore!

Then neither one of us have any more problems

You think just because I signed that paper you can leave?

I don't think so

I will not let you leave here until you fix the problem you have with Beto!

Do you know why she works for me?

Because she is saving up for her tuition

You don't have to worry about anything that is why you don't understand how hard it is for us to make a living here!

Beto

I'm sorry

You shouldn't keep following me so I won't get annoyed and be nasty to you.

Whatever. If you don't want to talk to me then don't

Hey

Why are you the one who's mad? Aren't you the one who did me wrong?

It's because I feel stupid. I keep talking here and you're ignoring me!

I'm asking for your forgiveness here!

Do you really apologize like that? Frowing, high-pitched, and looking angry?

What else do you want me to do?

Do you see this?

Learn how to milk

Me? Milk a cow?

Manong, can you teach me?

It's simple. Just wipe the nipples just like I just did then connect these hoses one by one

There. Like this.

It's just like this.

Why do you want to learn to do this?

It's payback for a friend.

♫ Why am I like this? I really want to look at you ♫

♫ Rain or shine I don't get tired watching you♫

By the way, our target is to produce 360 of this.

Target? What target are you talking about?

Target. What we have to achieve. Don't you know the meaning of target?

How can we achieve your target if the cows here can only produce 6 liters?

You know, a carabao can only produce 6 to 7 liters.

Now, If you want more, look for a carabao with 40 teats.

Hey come back here! I was just kidding!

♫ When I got to know you ♫

♫ Why is it like that? I can't understand what i'm feeling ♫

♫ I need your love... ♫

- Why? - Don't move.

Why? What's happening?

Walk to your left. Slowly.

Okay.

Then what?

Isko is looking at you.

It's just him.

Why did you wear red? There are lots of carabao here.

That's right.

Just remove your shirt.

Remove that.

That's right.

Okay.

What then?

Run!

How can you tell? They are all just water buffalos!

She was his last partner. If you ask) me, I'm a fan of their love team (talking about the carabaos)

I know what you will say next What?

That you are also waiting for the Isko of your life. Am I right?

Of course!

You're a hopeless romantic, you know that?

So...

Does it mean that it's alright if there are other (carabaos) who got first,

as long as you're the last one?

As long as i'm the last one to be loved.

♪ ♫I need your lovebr because I'm in love with you ♫

♪ ♫ ever since I first met you...♪ ♫

I just found out that Beto's not really a scholar

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Niel! Come here, join us

You know what sir Dan? I commend your son. He comes and visits you like a good son

My son... when he got his own family, he never visited me. Not even once!

What's that all about? Just because he has his own family he doesn't care for his parents anymore?

We have this old saying: He who doesn't know how to look back to where he's from...

when he get's pricked by a thorn, it's deep! (They changed the ending part of the proverb)

Let's have a toast for Neil!

For Neil! For Neil! That's right!

I think he's already training for his take over

Ah, no.

This son of mine will have a different future

He will become a great doctor! Just like his mother

What's more, he will study abroad! That's great!

But sir, how about the land? Who will take care of it?

Here. I have some more food

There you go! Thank you

Thank you ma'am Juliet!

Don't call me that!

Juliet, you're getting sexier everyday

Hey! Hey! Hey!

She may not be a bombshell but she's very loving

You're crazy!

You won't leave her even if the doctor is still as sexy as ever?

No way! She might be sexy but she's got nothing on this one

I still choose the champ! You, really!

There you go!

Grandma, 'tay...

Tay (dad), sorry. I was going to tell you, really.

Since when have you learned to lie and hide things, huh Beto?!

Can you handle yourself? Let's go

Just say so! I can still do it! Hey

Come on. Let's go home

Enough of that. They all went home already

I can still handle it Enough already

Come on let's go

I will never ever leave you for...

..that doctor.. Don't talk about mom that way!

You're disrespecting her!

Neil! We're just having fun!

That's what you're good at... having fun!

You are happy here, aren't you?

You even made me come here to show me how happy you are.

So now I've seen it

What else do you want me to do in here?

Niel!

Why are you so angry at me?

Do you really not know?

What are you... stupid?

Niel!

You know what? I think you should talk tomorrow. For now, get some rest.

You're drunk And you, you're too hot. You should talk tomorrow.

No!

- Neil, do it tomorrow! - No! I want to talk now!

You still ask me why I'm angry?

Did you forget?

You left us!

And for what? You traded us for this?

Niel, son.

My workers are here. The farm is here,

- The... - Farm?

Farm? All you talk about is farm!

You chose the farm over our family!

Then you're confused why I don't want to come back here?

Why would I come?

So I can hope that you will come back with me? Or so I could feel that I still have a dad?

And then, after this vacation.. What then?

No more?

I'm your son only for the summer?

You're mad at me?

Here, go ahead and hit me!

- That's enough.. - Get rid of the resentment that you're hiding.

- Dan, don't mind him... - Go on! Let it out on me!

Oh no! Niel!

What is up with you two? Thats enough!

Dan...

Nel...

Don't come next to me.

Niel.

Hello, ma?

We had a fight.

What?!What did you and your dad fight about?

I can't... I can't.

I just don't know! We got physical!

Grandma, where's dad?

Dad.. Dad, hold on a second please.

Dad, I'm sorry ---

That's not what I'm upset about.

I can understand that you didn't get the scholarship.

But what I can't understand is that you kept a secret from me.

I was gonna tell... I just wanted to find a solution first.

I'm your father. I should be worrying about this.

I know that you're all grown up. But I'm still your father Beto!

Come eat.

Niel, come eat.

Come here, come sit.

Sit down, we've already been waiting for you for a while.

I even asked them to buy taho (soft tofu with syrup) earlier for you.

But you woke up late. Now it's not hot anymore.

I remember that you used to love it when you were little.

Go on. Go eat!

Here you go, Neil

Neil!

Ma!

Are you okay? Yeah

Were you hurt? No

What happened?

Irene?

Your son told me that you got into a fight. That it was physical?

That's right. See?

Irene!

Irene! How are you?

Goodness, you still look beautiful as ever. You didn't change much.

You never seem to age! And you're body. You don't look like you have a kid!

Thank you.

A-And you are...?

I'm Juliette.

We were schoolmates before but I know you.

Who wouldn't recognize the most beautiful girl on our school?

And we even have a picture together! It was taken during our graduation.

Do you remember?

Yeah. That's right.

Yeah, yeah. It's coming back to me now.

So.. You work here?

I'm so sorry.

It's alright.

Juliette, you didn't have to leave.

Dan, in the eyes of God and in the eyes of man, you two are still married.

Besides, it will not look good if all three of us are under the same roof.

Bottom line is, I'm still just your mistress.

Juliette...

This is your chance to speak with your wife and son.

They rarely come.

I don't want to create trouble.

Besides, I also know that you need to do this.

Thank you.

Here, give this to Irene. It's violet, her favorite color.

- Irene? - Come in!

- Irene? - Come in!

Thank you

Why did you fight with Niel?

What happened?

Dan?

Tell me Irene...

What happened to make my son so angry with me?

So you had a fight. It happens.

You know how your son is. He doesn't like losing.

Irene, why?

Why did you let Niel grow up believing that I left you?

I never taught him that.

And... you really left us. That's a fact and the truth.

I told you to go with me.

I decided not to... but you still left!

You left us!

Why are we even talking about this?! It's been a long time ago!

It's history. It's been too long.

Exactly!

It's been so long.

How many years did you let my son to be upset with me?

So you're blaming me?

You're blaming me for how he feels when I don't have any control over it!

It's him. That's what he feels.

You should have explained it to him.

I was not there to explain myself.

- How about me? - You should have done that for me!

You're putting me on the spot! Those are the consequences of your choice!

Our choice, Irene. It's our choice!

Why me? Why is my son mad only at me?

- Because you're the one who left us! - Niel!

You're really something else, huh?!

And now you're reprimanding my mom?

Isn't it enough that you hurt her before?!

You left us.

You left me.

Don't you think you deserve my anger for that?

- You don't understand, Niel. - I really don't!

I really don't understand why you chose this stupid farm and not your family!

You think you know everything...

You think you're all good, you think you can control my life.

Who are you anyway? What have you done for me?

- Nothing! - Niel...

If you want me trapped here thinking that I would still accept you,

- I'm telling you... that's not going to happen! - Enough.

- Enough...

What now?

Dan!

What are you waiting for?

Stop it!

Stop it!

- Ma! - C'mon... Just stop!

Niel!

Just sign those damn papers already so I can leave this place!

Niel, give him a second chance.

Don't involve yourself in this. You're not a part of our family!

Beto...

Dad?

Come here.

You're not mad at me anymore?

That's enough.

Let's forget about it.

Don't worry about not getting your scholarship.

What's worrying me right now is the guy that you always hang around with.

It looks like someone's feelings might be getting attached.

Dad, I won't do anything to jeopardize the trust you have in me.

I promise you.

I understand what you did because you were mad

but understanding is not agreeing.

He's still your dad.

You shouldn't have hurt him.

That was just physical pain. That is nothing to what hes done to me.

They told me you're leaving?

Isn't that rather quick?

I just came to check up on Niel. I really didn't have any plans to stay here long.

Don't go back yet. If you don't want all of us...

Can we stop pretending that everything's okay?

It's not okay.

I'm sorry for what happened last night, Niel.

You don't come here often as it is, and that's what you get here.

I don't want you to leave without us being in good terms.

Please join me at the breakfast table.

Is Juliette not eating with us?

She went home in the meantime.

Is it because of what happened last night? No, of course not.

She just wanted us to have time to talk.

After breakfast, don't go home yet. I will take you around town.

- You know how my work is. - Irene just this once

please let me have my way.

Mang Rene?

Is that you?

Doctor! It's you. How have you been?

I'm well. How about yourself?

I'm still here, still cleaning around your house.

I got Mang Rene to be your house's caretaker.

I didn't know.

I tried to tell you but I can't seem to get you away from your work.

Thank you Juliette.

You didn't have to thank me.

Are you still happy with him?

I love him.

I think that's enough for me to say that I'm happy with me.

Good...

Good.

- I will go downstairs. - Okay.

Dan...

Thank you for this.

And...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to explain to Niel.

It's my fault.

So that's why you did show up. Your mom's here.

She's gorgeous.

That's why my godmother went home.

What's the problem?

Me and my dad exchanged words last night.

I was so angry I included Tita Juliette in the discussion.

So... what? See you after the summer?

Niel, give your father a chance.

He wants to get to know you. Why don't you get to know him too?

You know this is the only time that you'll be able to do this.

Seriously ma, Ma.

You know I came here not to bond with him but to make him sign something for me.

But he's not doing that. He's just keeping us prisoners here.

Even you! You deserve to be free from this marriage!

He already signed, son.

What?

- He signed your annulment? - Yeah.

Yes.

I don't really understand that man.

You were only here one day and he already signed your annulment.

Me, I have been here a long time and I'm still suffering!

I can't stay here anymore.

- I'm going home with you and I'm going to make him sign that consent RIGHT NOW! - Niel!

Niel!

- Niel! - Don't try to stop me, Ma! There's nothing more I want than for him to sign it and get it over with.

Niel, will you just listen to me for a minute!?

He signed it already, son.

What?

I didn't want to tell you because

I know that once you find out about it, you will want to go home.

So... what's this, Ma?

- You are helping him so I get trapped here? - No! He just wants to spend some time with you.

He should've thought of that before he left us!

Your father didn't leave us.

It was my decision that broke our family apart.

What are you talking about?

He left us!

Your father loves this farm.

His heart is here. And I thought...

I thought my heart was here, too.

Until I discovered my own dreams.

Son, your father didn't leave us.

It was me.

I was the one who didn't follow here.

And eventually, we just grew apart.

All these years you

let me believe that he was the one who left us!

What is this to you? Is it some kind of joke?

No. No, Niel.

It's like you're telling me that you have been making a fool of me my whole life!

NIEL!

You don't have the right to talk to your mom like that.

Go ahead. Why don't you both gang up on me!

You're both always like that anyway!

As long as you're both alright, it's okay. You don't care what happens to me.

Niel...

- Niel, where are you going? - Don't follow me. I might get mad at you, too.

- Come, just go with me. - I don't want!

Just come with me.

Argh! What kind of family is this?

Wait! Wait!

Hold on! Where are you taking me?

Just follow me.

It's beautiful...

Nobody understands but the both of them.

As long as they're alright, it's okay.

No one cared to tell me what's really happening.

That's not right.

I'm their son, aren't I?

I know I also have a say in this.

I just wish that they listen to me.

I just wish for them to see me

and I wish that they feel me too.

I wish for them to tell me the truth.

I don't want to look like a fool because I don't know what's going on.

Things could still be okay.

Just think that you're still lucky to have your mom and dad.

Yes they are there but I don't feel that they are. Not really.

That can be fixed. You just need to give them a chance.

If only you give yourself a chance.

Come here. I don't have anything else I can say.

I will just hold you instead.

Thank you very much Beto.

You're the only one who makes me feel happy here.

You always have the choice to make yourself happy.

You can be happy with sir Dan, with the farm, with everything. If only you allow yourself to.

Beto...

Niel...

Finding you is the only positive thing that happened to me this summer. Thank you Beto.

Will you be leaving now that he signed the consent?

Good evening Mang Berting.,

Good evening.

Where have you been?

We were at the firefly hill.

I'm sure that spending the whole evening with my daughter's enough.

You can go home now.

Goodnight sir, ma'am.

Beto.

Dad, we were not doing anything wrong.

You were holding hands with him in the middle on the road at this time of the night!

You have the gall to say that to me?!

From now on, I don't want you to keep meeting with that guy anymore! Beto?

Go home.

Berting, why are you so quick to judge them wrong?

Mom, didn't you hear where they came from?

I don't want what happened to her mother happen to Beto too!

Niel.

Bye ma!

- Take care. - Bye!

Beto!

I didn't leave. I will help you until we're done completing that 360 bottles that you need.

Niel, my dad got mad last night.

He told me to stay away from you

- What happened? - I don't know. I couldn't hear either.

Mang Berting,

May I please have a word with you?

Beto...

Dad...

Didn't you tell me that you won't do anything to jeopardize my trust to you?

Didn't you even tell me to watch over you?

Dad I didn't know that, that could be guarded.

You know, your mom's good and smart but because we got married young, she wasn't able to fulfill all her dreams.

I don't want the same to happen to you.

I love you. So please forgive me if I'm too strict on you.

It's just the only way I know to protect you.

My child, I want you to be happy and to have a good future

but there is time for everything. And now is the time for you to finish your studies first.

Sorry, dad.

Your heart knows what you need to do for yourself. Let it guide you to the kind of freedom you want to have.

Niel.

Here...

For you.

Thank you!

Go on. You are short of time.. Go ahead and get ready.

Okay.

Beto! Go on and get ready!

Hurry before your date gets bored waiting for you!

Hurry!

Date?

- You don't want? It's up to you. - W-W-Wait a minute! How about Tatay?

Your clothes are all pressed. And your date already asked permission from commander Berting!

Now what? Go take a shower already!

Make yourself pretty okay? Oh your outfit! It's so nice!

Niel, where are we really going?

I just have one more wish before the summer ends.

What's that?

For us to be an official pair.

- Niel, you know I can't. - I know, I know.

I know that you can't. That's why I changed my wish.

I just want to have a special day with you.

To pretend that we are together. Even if it's just for a day.

I don't think Mang Berting will be mad. After all it's just pretend.

Niel, what are we doing here? Why are we here?

To change things up. So it's not always just land and carabaos.

It's nice here isn't it?

Let's go!

It's beautiful!

What are you smiling about?

- We still have someplace else to go to. - Huh?

Where else are we going?

- I still want to dance with you. - Huh? I don't get it.

Come on.

- Hi Beto! - Hi.

- Jason! Beto is really cute today! - That's right! - I agree!

She's always cute.

The problem with you is you always say so behind her back. Have the courage to tell her this time!

Dad...

Mang Berting! Did we make the curfew?

You're five minutes early.

I have a surprise for you.

What is it now?

I wish to be your Isko

and for you to be my Iska.

Don't worry. You don't to give me an answer.

It's enough for me that you know what I think

and it's also enough for me to be able to say this to you.

Niel, what if this is just for now?

What if when you go back to Manila... you change?

What if you forget all of this?

That will never happen.

Beto, what I feel for you...

I'm sure it's going to last a long time.

This is not just a summer fling.

Thanks again for today, Niel.

Of course. I want to make happy the person who makes me happy.

She's important to me.

Really?

- Tell me how important is... - Oh my! Let's go there.

The farm.

Farm?

First, I don't even notice her. She's nothing special.

But after a while I got used to her until

a time came when I always want to be with her.

What about the malls and the clubs that you go to.. Aren't they more exciting than the farm?

But the farm is special.

It's different from everywhere else.

Even if it's simple, it taught me everything.

That's why it is the closest to my heart.

Let's go!

Aren't we pretending to be a couple today?

Aren't you going to give me a... kiss?

Niel... if you don't stop that, I will leave.

Mang Berting, don't tell me you are going to keep watching them?

Niel should take her home. Don't you think?

Come on, Mang Berting.

Please?

Niel!

Okay. I respect you.

Please... allow me to do this...

♪ I really feel different whenever i'm with you, my love ♪

After one day of pretending to be a couple. Next time we will make it for two days.

Then, we will make it three days.

Then, one week... one month... one year.

Until you get used to it. Until we really become a couple.

Hello? Tita Juliette?

WHAT?!

Ma'am, I'm sorry. Mr Cuaresma is in delicate condition right now.

Niel, I arranged to have your dad transferred. He will be transferred here in Manila soon.

- Get your things ready. Get your dad's stuff ready too. - Okay

- vIs your Tita Juliette there? - Yes.

Can I talk to her?

Hello Irene? The ambulance is on it's way.

Don't worry, we'll take good care of him here in Manila.

Niel, thank you for staying here.

I'm sorry that I used the consent you needed as a bargain. I just want to be with you before you go abroad.

- I just want to be closer to you... - I hope that someday, my love for you will be enough...

I really love you, son.

Take care, Niel.

Classes are going to start soon. Are you ready to leave?

How can I leave when dad's not even okay yet?

Do you really want to study abroad?

Then go.

Your dad would never stand in the way of your happiness, son.

He would want you to live your life.

Niel!

Niel! Irene! It's Dan!

Hurry!

Daddy? Daddy?

Niel, I waited a long time to hear those words from you.

I love you Daddy!

Daddy!

I'm sorry!

Even if I'm not as fair or as good looking as Niel.

I believe I can give all that my daughter needs to make her happy.

Me too, anything for my granddaughter.

- Thanks grandma. - Thank you, dad.

You really are still young.

I never said for you to disregard what you and Niel feel for each other.

If it is real, it can wait

no matter how long or how hard it is.

Niel said, the summer changed his life. It also changed mine.

I learned to hope and to love. I also learned to accept things that I can't change.

I thought your flight was today?

That's why I can't stay long.

I just can't leave without seeing you first.

I will miss you, Beto.

I will miss you too, Niel.

All this time, my anger for my parents is great.

And yet here I am leaving the only girl that really matters to me.

Even if I start to pursue my dreams

I will never give you up Beto.

Even if we are apart. I promise you I will still love you.

Until the time comes when we get to see each other again.

It's not allowed to be sad.

Being emotional is not allowed either.

What I want to see last from you

is your smile.

So smile.

Okay?

So...

Go.

Think of happy thoughts when you think of me.

Please?

Only happy thoughts, promise.

I will come back to my Iska.

I promise you.

Goodbye Niel.

Goodbye? I'm keeping my promise.

Summer will come again.

How many more are there?

I miss the farm!

The farm?... or the other farm?

The only farm that I adore.
